Wal Mart is pushing the drivers over the edge. Pay cuts, letting/forcing them drive for 20 hours straight, making them turn the trucks off and getting hot/cold while sleeping to save fuel, no heat/ac.
Time for drivers to unionize before next innocent motorist are killed.

If you all are paying attention to this picture… this is a Marten Transport truck owned by Marten transport pulling a WalMart trailer. Get your facts straight. Marten Transport driver was at fault NOT WalMart… pull your heads out ta your butt for a second. I am a truck driver so I know a few things here…

Mr Roper was in his 13th hour of on duty time when wreck occurred. There is no way he was illegal as far as Hours of Service goes. As strange as this sounds there is no law saying how much a drivermust sleep. The reason why is because it ccannot be regulated is there is no absolute way to measure sleep. That is why it is called a rest break not sleep break.
